Never Let Them See You Bleed Poem by Jack Dylan

I am transfixed onto a dark and mirrored pool,
Rank of subjugation and hypocrisy.
Horrified by past memories,
I see myself from the outside.
But I am not you.

I can’t save you!
But I am lead to condemn you,
Condemning myself again and again.

Misery fills my heart, that aches to grab hold of you.
I pray for your fate that has left my grasp.
I have become an indentured servant to a pig farm,
And thrown you to the wolves.

Fight little piggy!
Fight till the death!

Never be consumed by that which is beneath you.

I will pray for your fate,
before the butcher.
And hold back the tears,
I will never let them see me bleed.
